I think this should go in Meditations as well, since all the other sections can pretty much be ruled out. I have read the article and found the information in it to be useful.

I have just a few suggestions/questions which I will list below. (Keep in mind that I do not consider myself an expert, but that probably makes me a pretty good approximation of an average reader)

  1. Say I am writing a large perl/oracle application that needs to run on perl/mysql later. I am using DBI now. Should I really invest the time to learn DBIx, and why? It seems like the answer is yes, but it would be nice to have a paragraph that specifically addresses this kind of issue, pros and cons of switching to DBIx from good ol' DBI.
  2. Are there any performance issues of DBIx that I should be aware of?
  3. A world without SQL seems too good to be true. Is it?
